Can anybody tell me where I can buy a 90 brass fitting for a stock
1947 Merc/Ford mechanical fuel pump. I just installed a Fenton 2 carb
intake manifold which turns the oil cap and fuel pump about 45 degrees.
I need a 90 fitting to attach my fuel line from the tank.
I've been to NAPA, Autozone, and several others, no luck.
Bob Drake, Speedway and other catalogs don't show any either.
Appreciate any suggestions, help etc.

The top and bottom of the fuel pump itself can be changed to different positions --even a different top can be fitted that takes different fittings ---perhaps the early round one in place of the glass bowl type.
 
You can turn the top of the pump to any position you want,has nothing to do with the manifold. Remove the 6 screws holding the top to the bottom 1/2 of the pump and turn top to a better angle. I have never seen a 90 deg fitting for what your talking about.Try it youl like it. ken's fuel pumps and carbs.
 
The 2 1/2's will tend to stick to the diaf but will come apart with some perswasion,while your at it look at how the valves are held in on the top 1/2/ NO pressed metal bridge i call it with 2 small screws holding it down means the pump cant ever be rebuilt as they are pressed in and are slightly larger than the older ones. FYI. ken ct. and not availible.
